Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A system for charging a battery within an at least partially electric vehicle comprising: a network configured to determine the location of a charging vehicle, the network configured to: receive a request for a charge; and send a signal to the charging vehicle including the location of the at least partially electric vehicle, wherein the charging vehicle locates the at least partially electric vehicle and charges the at least one battery by a predetermined amount.

2

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising wherein the network is configured for communication between the electric vehicle and the network and the network and the charging vehicle.

3

3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising wherein the network configured to send and receive communication from a central database.

4

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured wherein the electric vehicle requests a charge from the charging vehicle through communication with the network.

5

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the charging vehicle is a mobile charging vehicle.

6

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the charging vehicle comprising at least one battery.

7

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the electric potential of the energy in the charging vehicle is greater than the electric potential of the battery in the electric vehicle.

8

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one battery in the charging vehicle is charged by a generator.

9

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the generator is a Stirling generator.

10

10. A battery charge system for an at least partially electric vehicle, the at least partially electric vehicle comprising at least one electric vehicle battery, the battery charge system comprising: a network in communication with the charging vehicle; and a communication device communicatively coupled to the charging vehicle and configured to: receive charging requests from the network including the location of the at least partially electric vehicle, wherein the charging vehicle locates the at least partially electric vehicle and charges the at least one battery by a predetermined amount.

11

11. The battery charge system of claim 10 , further comprising wherein the charging vehicle is a mobile charging vehicle.

12

12. The battery charge system of claim 10 , further comprising wherein the at least one battery is a low impedance battery having a higher potential than a battery in the electric vehicle.

13

13. The battery charge system of claim 10 , further comprising wherein the electric vehicle comprising a communication device communicatively coupled to the network.

14

14. The battery charge system of claim 10 , wherein the charging vehicle is a motor vehicle.

15

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the vehicle is a motor vehicle.

16

16. A method for charging a battery within an at least partially electric vehicle comprising: receiving a request for a charge; and sending a signal to a charging vehicle including the location of the at least partially electric vehicle, wherein the charging vehicle locates the at least partially electric vehicle and charges the at least one battery by a predetermined amount.

17

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising configuring a network for communication between the electric vehicle and the network and the network and the charging vehicle.

18

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising configuring the network to send and receive communication from a central database.

19

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising configuring the at least partially electric vehicle to requests a charge from the charging vehicle through communication with the network.

20

20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising charging the at least one battery in the charging vehicle with a generator.
